Nutrition and Having a Healthy Nose
I am writing this article to help you understand some of the different aspects of having a healthy nose. In many cases I suggest using a good nasal saline spray or solution as a key to having a healthy nose. At the same time as you are working on having a healthy nose you will also be creating the environment to have a healthy sinus. It is obvious that the nose is part of the body though we often act like it isn’t. We’re very much aware that it’s there when it doesn’t work.
There are a lot of different issues that affect the health of the nose. I think that a very important issue is the general nutrition of the body. Many people don’t think about this, but the nutrition you throw at your body affects every single cell in your body. So we can say that it affects every single cell in your nose. If the cells in your nose aren’t working well, your nose won’t work well. Even if you are using a good nasal saline spray, it won’t work nearly as well if your cells have bad nutrition.
So we agree then that the cells in your nose are affected by the nutrition in the body. It is surprising how many people with chronic nasal problems or chronic sinus problems do not think about this connection. They eat junky food that has the nutrition of garbage but don’t see the connection with their nasal problems.
A very important part of nutrition is supplementing the foods we eat. Now “supplement” is a word that means you are adding to something that is already there. Unfortunately many people supplement fairly well but they are supplementing a junky diet. If that is your strategy I am giving you the sad advice that your strategy will not work well. You need to start with a diet rich in good nutrients. If you don’t do this, your nasal saline solution will be less effective.
There are over 50 key nutrients that are useful and helpful to supplement and all of them directly or indirectly play a roll in the immune function of the body. If any one of them are low, there is a bad effect on the body’s immune function. We are beginning to understand this more and so we have a lot of information on a few nutrients and a lot of research available to support the supplementation of a few nutrients. But it is likely that all of the nutrients that are crucial to health can be useful to the body when supplemented.
So in summary, there are a lot of things that affect the health of the nose that are actually issues for the whole body. I believe that nothing is as important as nutrition. So even though using a good nasal saline solution will be helpful, getting your nutrition right will help your nose be “happy” and healthy.
